The 'I Do One Push-up' meme originated from a July 2020 webcomic by the artist SrGrafo. In the comic, a small character asks an incredibly muscular man about his workout secret, to which the buff man replies that he does a single push-up whenever a specific event occurs. The humor stems from the implication that the event happens so frequently that it resulted in the man's massive physique. It is widely used to highlight obsessive behaviors, frequent internet occurrences, or personal shortcomings in a hyperbolic and self-deprecating way.
